Hopefully this works this time. Here is a compilation of some of the best quotes from this whole thing here on Freerepublic.com::::

I went to DU and any thread on this subject is immediately locked. How come? Cognitive dissonance.

Not to beat our own drum, but you can post ANY question here and get it answered by people with expert knowledge in less than 30 minutes. We constantly have stuff here---not always in the articles, but often in the commentary---that is way ahead of the news. And that's how newspapers used to be prior to Jackson: a "broadside" would arrive in an inn or tavern or coffee house and people would gather as a literate person read. Then they would begin to interject opinions and expertise and "edit" the story as they went. They would quickly decide if it was true or not!

Brit said they typed the memos in the newsroom on MS WORD and it matched! hahahahaha That was done here hours ago.

Hewitt's expert says CBS won't identify its expert. "Experts" are a dime a dozen. I used to work with this insurance guy, Tony, who taught me how the pros forge signatures. The secret is to turn the signature which you are duplicating upside down. That way when you forge the signature you are only duplicating what looks like a scribble instead of a group of letters. This negates any predisposition you have in the way that you normally write those letters. With a little practice, this method works amazingly well. Tony was clearly an "expert". Maybe CBS asked Tony.

CBS standing firm at this hour. Rigor mortis.

CBS will say they were fooled by these docs because their source is extremely credible and reliable. They will refuse to reveal the source. Rumor has it CBS got them from Art Bell, who got them from, well, we don't exactly know -- but a recent CBS poll of the Milky Way Galaxy found that the galactic community is against GW by 85%.

It was inevitable---the thought of defeating their rivals at cbs was more important than solidarity with the losing kerry campaign. I love it when liberals eat their own.

The statement added that CBS reporters had verified the documents by talking to unidentified individuals who saw them "at the time they were written." This is probably true. They were likely declared "authentic" by people who saw them written - in 2004.

I wonder if Rather will fall on his sword....Or squeal like the 'Rat he is…

Fox should send Brit with a hand held camera over to CBS banging on the door, Mike Wallace(or fatso Moore) style, asking questions about the forgeries. That'd be a hoot. ROFLMAO hey lets send the Protest Warriors!!!

ROFLMAO hey lets send the Protest Warriors!!! CBS Limosine Liberals spotted fleeing NYC! hahahahaha

Rathergate

gee Jim, do you mean like woodward & bernstein's "Deep Throat" who was "secret scorce" quoted as gospel in their book, but has never been questioned or seen to back up their "facts"? Well, does that mean that all we have to do is talk to "Deep Font", and we'll know who made the fake docs??

CBS probably paid big $ for the documents to someone who knows liberals are stupid.

My dream is that Michael Moore is the one who forged these documents and he gets outed for it.

"It has come to our attention, here at CBS, that the documents we hoped would be the nail in Bush's coffin were forgeries. We’re sorry our reporting is shakier than cafeteria Jell-O. We're really very sorry the documents were not genuine. We're even more sorry the world found out about that. Right now we’re about as uncomfortable as a too-small bathing suit on a too-long ride home from the beach. We're sorry we didn't have any REAL dirt on President Bush. We're sorry that Kerry is such a weak candidate. We're sorry that none of the mud we continue to throw at the President seems to be sticking. We've lived by the crystal ball, we're eating so much broken glass. We're in critical condition. We're sorry, we're sorry, we're SO sorry."

"I was used like a two dollar hooker who got paid with forty wooden nickels."

Yeah, I like this part: And Democrats can rightly say that Fox News Channel seems to like the "forgery" story more than the original CBS version. Oh, that Fox, focusing on the "forgery" angle over the "CBS version". The unfairness of it all!" LOL

"Buckhead seems well-read on his forensic document examination skills." This comes as no surprise to those familiar with Free Republic. Extremely well-read, well informed, and intelligent people post consistently on FR.

New 527: "Buckheads for Bush!"

DUmmie Quote of the Year: Oh, please. Like a bunch of amateurs on the Internet would be able to figure out something that CBS News stuck its neck out over and never thought to investigate. Riiight.

Oh, please. Like a bunch of amateurs on the Internet would be able to figure out something that CBS News stuck its neck out over and never thought to investigate. Riiight. That reminds me of a story about Mark Bavaro, the former Giants tight end. His first season, he threw a block that pancaked a famous defensive end. Of course, Bavaro needled the guy for that. The guy, infuriated, yelled "Who the hell are you?" To which Bavaro said, "I'm a nobody - but what does that say about YOU?" Very fitting in this case. We're all amateur journalists here. Yet we've brought yet another bogus MSM story down. What does that say about THEM?

"I love the guy," Staudt said of Bush. "I'm so tired of this negative crap about him that I'd like to volunteer to build a barn and take you press guys out behind it and kick your asses." Maybe that Time reporter should get hazardous duty pay.

Dan Rather interview...I think Rather actually said the seriousness of the charges is more important than the authenticity of the documents.

John Kerry did not give the fake doc's to CBS before he gave them to CBS

Mr Rather....Tear down this wall!!

who helped draft the petition urging the Arkansas Supreme Court to disbar President Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Buck ....we ever meet the beer is on me..

YEAH, Buckhead!!! Great Job with Clinton -- and -- with the memos.

The liberal media doesn't consider conservatives as actual PEOPLE. If a document is forged in the forest and only conservatives see it, is it really forged??

Here's MY personal info if you want to investigate my predilections. Keep it up, LA Times. You're heading towards subscription loss and possible lawsuits. Rodger Hunter Orange County, CA Navy Veteran: 1975 - 1986

The LA Times is now expecting to get the Pulitzer for uncovering FR's DEEP THROAT!

TankerKC was the first alerter. I know. I was hesitant to post his handle lest some MSM news hound start a full scale investigation to find out if he's a republican.

Newsflash to the LA Times: We are all Conservatives here at FR. And some huge percentage of us have jobs, many of those jobs being professional in nature. Further, many of us are highly experienced 40 and 50-something year olds who are not likely to swallow the pap that passes for journalism these days. We have been in the military, in government, in international business. This is not a conspiracy. Karl Rove did not engineer this. This is not a Republican plot. It is just the way it is.
